Requiring the creation and maintenance of school maps in safe school plans.

HB 2328 requires all public school districts in Washington to create and maintain standardized school maps as part of their safe school plans. These maps must be updated annually, include site-specific details for emergency response, and be shared with local and state first responders. The bill directly affects school districts, which must now integrate these maps into their safety planning to ensure compatibility with emergency systems and protect sensitive data. This addresses longstanding issues where outdated or inconsistent mapping hindered emergency coordination, as noted in a 2019 legislative study. The policy aims to improve real-time response during emergencies by providing accurate, accessible facility information to first responders.
